POLITICS NEWS AND ANALYSIS
RCI report is hogwash. Sabahan leaders sold their people out. They deserved their fate as they voted for these leaders and will probably accept the hogwash and remain silent.
As I said repeatedly, we sympathise with Sabahans but your fate is in your hands.Defeat is the distance between a bedtime story and a wake-up call. The former starts with ‘Once upon a time...’ and lulls the voter to sleep. with mild levels of cynicism, are irrelevant today. Conscience is no longer a participant in politics.
that there is all-party collusion on its non-implementation. There was only one question trapped in doubt: What was prime minister Najib doing while Malaysia was destroyed The PM was either unavailable or, worse, asleep. It is a lie inaction and RCI ’s collaboration were deliberate.
Najib thinking of “emergency brakes”, or a short time cap on RCI TDM project IC congratulates Najib over Sedition Act reversal.When Najib’s good friend Abdul Razak Baginda got into trouble over the Altantuya Shaariibuu case, Najib is said to have sent him a SMS message as follows: “I am seeing IGP at 11am today... matter will be solved... be cool”.
UMNO secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan said Umno delegates fitted with full Artificial Intelligence chips can prevent hate speak unbound
In a sudden burst of inspiration UMNO secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan has brought out a booklet on the ‘U-turn listing the many flip-flops and broken promises of Umno President
the insincerity or worse the inefficiency of Najib administration, which knows only how to criticise the opposition.
Umno may probe delegates who raised sensitive issues during the recent general assembly despite being warned not to do so.It’s a fair point and one that provides much ammunition to any party out to needle a government. But, apart from embarrassing Prime Minister Najib who likes to project himself as a decisive leader, and demonstrating UMNO’s alliance Perkasa with opportunism thereby winning a few propaganda points, the label of U-turn can cause no serious damage.Besides, some of these turnarounds may actually indicate a willingness to take decisions that are largely in the national interest, such as going ahead with the project which was in danger of being scrapped. It is obvious that Najibi is discovering the compulsions of administration and adjusting to them .

Tengku Adnan said Umno delegates may have full Artificial Intelligence chips
Enthusiasm is no substitute for clarity. The flaws in the Sedition Act not in the laudable intention but in the clogged delivery. The desire to be politically correct has overtaken the imperative to be politically sensible. Method and order, the favourite weapons of Hercule Poirot, might be usefully employed in analysis. This law, often described as ‘colonial,’ ‘draconian’ and ‘archaic’, continues to give Malaysia its rightful spot in the international news – all thanks to the slew of sedition investigations and charges this year.
Throwaway culture: Unlike earlier days when things were made to last, today everything is disposable
Still there are many who argue that nothing has changed — polity and policy wise. Despite Prime Minister lipstick” and so are other measures.have to wait for cows. but change, when incremental, is hard to feel and difficult to notice. it’s a break from the past. Now we have a Superman leader, the one who cannot delever the principal opposition party Many UMNO critics have now come around to say renowned The New Straits Times” former Group Editor Datuk A. Kadir Jasin captures the frisson, heat and dust of an unprecedented battle for UMNO. Social media and the various platforms it gives people, has made critics of all of us, and we freely voice our opinion on the many networks available. Who cares about a designated professional critic anymore, except as a reference point, whether for food, films, art or books? Everyone has an opinion — and that is fine — but people get judgmental, and sometimes cruelly so. Some people are so critical all the time that it becomes difficult to discuss anything with them. Their first response is always negative, a sure way to discourage others from coming to you with ideas. Are you sure you are not one of them? Because a recent study found that most such negative souls are unaware of this trait, and claim they criticise because they are honest and they care.

Bloggers Demanding resignation of Prime minister Najib over derogatory remarks
MCA, Gerakan obedient on Sedition
The social media revolution has made obsolete the notion of big companies or political parties gaining monopoly power by owning both print and electronic media. On the contrary , both actually face the horrific prospect of commercial extinction. The internet and cellphone provide not just communication but also news and entertainment, and mostly free or dirt-cheap. This has already sent Western TV channels and print media into steep, maybe terminal decline.
This is a journalist’s duty, not sedition

Club C4 Members: Mind your language
This post once again brings to fore the serious issue is that how our media now viewing incidents of similar nature, differently, and is creating scare in one situation while it completely ignores the other.
Question, attributed communal outbreaks to "religious factors, gender-related disputes, alleged blasphemous portrayal of religion/religious symbols on social media/mobile applications, illegimately born disputes over land belonging to religious sites and other issues".Yet cutting across party lines the tendency to use abusive language seems to be growing. It’s one thing to resort to somewhat colourful below-the-belt

PM Najib is saying something while other members of Umno Youth chief Khairy ,Malay rights group Perkasa and the government say something else? it again underlines the differentiations of a community as opposed to some other ‘foreign’ community within the nation, with the majoritarianism of the former as the cornerstone of competitive identity management politics.
a minister is a representative of all Malaysians first and a political activist only second. Today, a deeply polarised polity has led to alarming levels of abuse. But the politics of divisiveness must stop at the doors of a minister. Importantly, in the age of 24×7 media, there is no place to hide. High officials have no choice but to abide by a code of public decorum.The polarisation this entails is in direct conflict with the PM’s ideal of growth. Putra Jays has witnessed communal tensions of late, and much as it might be a simplistic ploy to polarise and hence consolidate votes of a particular community, it doesn’t need a rocket scientist to infer and predict that these sorts of ruptures will make UMNO’s need for inclusive growth a tough enterprise. Social and communal tensions don’t remain isolated in pockets, they poison and vitiate the public and political life of the republic leading to exclusions and violence which shatter notions of democracy.
Malay rights group Perkasa flays PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad for saying that the Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin’s call to non-Malays to respect the “social contract” is racist.
